Worst vocalist in a "great" band.

Bob Dylan, and Lou Reed come to mind.

I was listening to Lou Reed's "Sweet Jane" the other day, which by the way has one of the best intros' to a song ever, but damn his vocals are weak.

Dire Straits. Knopfler's voice is mediocre, IMO, but it works with the music (mostly).

Brian Johnson AC/DC. His voice just grates on me.

I never cared for:

Robert Plant - LZ
Geddy Lee - Rush

Now; notice the word "suck" did not appear in any form in my statement. Funny how when you say you don't like one or both of these two people get angry like you had insulted their grandmother or something...

Conversely, Captain Beefheart has a deplorable voice, but it worked wonderfully with the music he and Zappa wrote.

Hey, nice to see that you abstained from using the S word.

As it is, I wholly agree. most of early geddy lee makes my spine hurt unless I'm in the mood for it. I've never liked RP at all, he just gets on my nerves.


It's hard to put together a list of good bands with lead singers that I hate. Bon jovi, for example. Could somebody stomp on peter cetera from chicago for me? How about mick jagger? As far as I'm concerned, at some point, the quality of the voice became irrelevant. As long as you can carry a tune, and maybe play geetar, you can become a musician of the stars are right.

If I never, ever heard john mellencamp again, I'd call that a happy ending.

I am a Rush fan So I disagree with your Geddy Lee choice!

Eric Clapton is one of the greatest guitar players but he does not have the best voice!
